Jansen Pullom was a 26-year-old Black man and father of three from Houston. His mother, LaShonda Petties, described him as devoted to his children and said he was trying to do right by them.

On the night of May 29, 2023, Pullom went to the Azul Apartments in northwest Harris County for a custody exchange. Around 10:20 p.m. he met his ex-partner and her new boyfriend in the parking lot to return their 4-year-old son. An altercation broke out and the boyfriend shot Pullom multiple times; Pullom died at the scene in front of his young son. Surveillance video captured the incident. The boyfriend fled with the child and the child’s mother, then the couple turned themselves in the next day. The boyfriend, identified as Jacolby Moses, was arrested and charged with murder and held on a $325,000 bond; court records note he was found in an interview to have a mental illness or an intellectual disability. As of June 2023 the case was moving through the courts.

Did anyone in the area see the custody exchange or the vehicle the couple used that night?
